Partners + Fleet
We’ve got strong, long-lasting partnerships
Mesa Airlines operates flights on behalf of United Airlines, flying planes branded as United Express. For United, we bring passengers from smaller airports to our partners' largest hubs, where they can connect onto flights around the world.
Together with our partner, Mesa plays a key role in connecting people from around the world and ensuring cargo is delivered on time.
We fly regional jets and narrow-body aircraft
We've got 80 E-Jets in our fleet and have been flying them since 2015. 60 are flying now and 20 more brand new ones are on the way.
These aircraft feature 70 and 76 seats in a dual-class configuration. Powered by two GE CF34 turbofan engines, the fly-by-wire technology helps reduce pilot workload.

Archer Maker
Mesa has partnered with United Airlines and Archer to work towards decarbonizing air travel. The Maker is Archer’s advanced fully electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to use electric motors and can travel up to 60 miles at speeds of up to 150 mph. Using today’s technology, Archer plans to debut the electric aircraft this year with production beginning in 2023 and consumer flights launching in 2024. Once operational, Mesa, together with United, will acquire a fleet of this electric aircraft.
Heart ES-19
Mesa made an investment in electric aircraft company, Heart Aerospace (“Heart”), a company that plans to be the first to produce the world’s first electric nineteen-seat ES-19 aircraft, alongside Breakthrough Energy Ventures and United Airlines Ventures. Mesa also plans to add 100 ES-19 aircraft to its regional fleet, revolutionizing air service to small markets as one of the first network air carriers to help decarbonize air travel through the use of electric aircraft.
